The Remembrance retreat will focus on reciprocity with Mother Earth and with our physical temple. As we come back to a state of Remembrance, the Earth does so as well. Together, we will connect with the land, hands in the earth- tending, listening and feeling. We will sit in sacred ceremony and sing to spirit, to our ancestors and our inner child. Los ninos Santos will always bring us home—- back to that deep space of knowing and trust- that space of remembrance; who you are & and HOW you are.

 

 

We will practice a pagamento ceremony for the ocean to Yemaya, Olokun & the waters reflected in our bodies under the Full Moon Lunar ( south node) Eclipse in Scorpio on May 5th. This energy will highlight our womb space, sexual organs, ancestral connections and the mother wound. This week's retreat along with the astrological energy will allow us to delve into our emotions and the way we share that exchange with others. How can we look deeper into ourselves and more closely to nature to unearth the medicine within? 

During this trip we will swim in Oshun’s river and give thanks for the sweetness of life. We’ll hike the rainforest and learn native medicine surrounding us on the way. 

 

 

There will be morning integration sessions, workshops offered throughout the week and one on one healing sessions. 

Throughout the week, we will be sitting with Cacao, Tobacco, Cannbis & Psychdlic mushrooms as well as other modalities such as sound healing, breath work, creative expression and group integration activations. There will also be beach time and down time to relax and rejuvenate! Join us for a week in San Juan Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🌺

 

Our experienced facilitators bring years of medicine work and journey guidance- to meet you exactly where you are. 

 

Meet The Team:

Her work is deeply grounded in her Puerto Rican roots and her Bronx NY upbringing. She is a 5th generation curandera and weaves that practice into every fiber of BxB. Through her workshops with BreadxButta and in her one on one sessions, she uses a variety of modalities that ignite healing and the remembrance of our oneness with mother nature. Lynsey’s practice focuses on entheogenic, sacred allies and how we can integrate those medicines into everyday ritual, to heal on a multidimensional and multigenerational spectrum.

 I am only bringing 10 people with me at this retreat! It is first come first serve. 

I will provide your lodging, spiritual & energy work session, meals/snacks, transportation to offsite activities, medicine ceremonies, plant medicines offered throughout the week (canna/smoke blends/ teas), linens and ritual tools. 

We do not cover any transportation (rental cars, bus, train or flights) to the property. I.E. if you decide to rent a car during the retreat you will be responsible for tolls, gas fees. 

Accommodations: 

We are sleeping in communal rooms. Each room has 4-6 adult sized bunkbeds and private bathrooms. We feel it is important for the integration process and for the community aspect of the experience to share space together.

There is a large and beautiful pool onsite with reclining chairs and lots of outdoor chill space to relax and unwind in nature. Our location is right on the border of El Yunque, the plant life is beautiful and will be surrounding us!
